Further, it was claimed that \u2018Meet\u2019 is a video-conferencing App from Google, where all kinds of virtual conferences and meetings happen.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Informant alleged that Google which is a dominant player has integrated the Meet App into the Gmail App which amounts to abuse of dominant position by Google.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><u>Analysis, Law and Decision<\/u><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Commission noted that users of Gmail are not forced to necessarily use Google Meet, and there does not appear to be any adverse consequences on the users of Gmail for not using Google Meet, such as withdrawal of Gmail or any of its functionalities or other services that are so far being provided by Google. A Gmail user at his\/ her \u2018free will\u2019 can use any of the competing VC apps.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Further, it was added to the above observation that anyone with a Google Account could create an online meeting using Google Meet. For creating a Google account, the user need not be a user of Gmail. He\/she can use email ID created on any other platform for creating a Google account.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Google Meet is available as an independent app outside the Gmail ecosystem also.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Therefore, users have the choice to use either of the Apps with all their functionalities without necessarily having to use the other. Even though Meet tab has been incorporated in the Gmail app, Gmail does not coerce users to use Meet exclusively as submitted by Google and the consumers are also at freewill to use either Meet or any other VC app for video conferencing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hence, no case was made out.
